User blog:Hayds126/So Verlisify...

If you have no idea who this person is, he is an infamous Pokémon YouTuber known for being anti hacking, anti smogon and just hate in general. I’m here to address all that and explain why I think Verlisify is undeserving of the hate he gets. I had been meaning to make a blog about this for a while but found no real reason to. I have been hearing his name pop up a bit more around here so now is better than any to talk about this issue I guess

The biggest reason why no one really likes him is because of his “attacks” on other people be it Poketubers or Competitive Players. For starters it is justifiable for him to do this. These people have been at bare minimum owned a hacked Pokémon from one time or another. Even if it was unintentional it’s they are still at fault for not noticing. No one wants to listen or accept this because they are simply too popular. Their respective fan base are way too loyal and simply wouldn’t accept the fact it’s wrong.

Another thing is supposed “Clickbait”. For starters Verlisify is very against this and never clickbaits ever. Haters like to complain and say something he did was clickbaiting but really it wasn’t. They jump at it and never look into the details. Even if what he did was clickbait which it clearly isn’t there are many more poketuber’s that are much worse.

Hacking is a big one. He exposes hackers and they don’t like it. If hacking was caught in almost any other community it would be taken care of swiftly and immediately. But tournament organisers bend rules and have loopholes because exposing them like Verlisify does gets them hate. So this just ruins the community

Anti smogon. My opinion on smogon is much less extreme than Verlisify. I find smogon ok as a resource but I don’t like how they hinder creativity with bans. Most smogon players say it’s called making the game fair and competitive. Some bans I understand they make sense. But when you ban something because you are not smart enough to work your way around it then that’s on you.

So whether you still hate him or not I don’t care. I just wanted my opinion out there.
